Multiple Choice
1. The Use Of X-Rays To Create A Medical Image On Patients Is Referred To As
a. Electrocardiography.
b. Radiography.
c. Sonography.
d. Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
ANSWER: B
Radiography Is The Making Of Records Of Internal Structures Of The Body By Passage Of
X-Rays Or Gamma Rays Through The Body. These Records Or Images Are Typically
Referred To As Radiographs.
Ref: P. 4
2. Particular Care Must Be Taken When Using Radiation For Medical Imaging. This Is The
Result Of Radiation’s Ability To Create In Human Tissue And Possible Biochemical
Changes.
a. Ionizations
b. Radio Waves
c. Sound Waves
d. Thermal Changes
ANSWER: A
Some Forms Of Electromagnetic Energy, Including X-Rays, Have The Ability To Ionize
Atoms In Matter. These Ionizations Have The Ability To Disrupt The Composition Of
Matter And Are Capable Of Disrupting Life Processes. Special Protection Should Be
Provided To Prevent Excessive Exposure To Ionizing Radiation.
Ref: P. 3
3. In The Diagnosis Of Patient Disease States, Physicians Can Select From An Array Of
Medical Diagnostic Modalities. A Few Of These Involve The Use Of Ionizing Energy To
Create A Medical Image. If A Physician Is Concerned About The Use Of Ionizing
Radiation, He Or She May Choose To Order Any Of The Following Diagnostic Modalities
Except
a. Thermograms.
b. Medical Sonography.
c. Radiography.
d. Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
ANSWER: C
Radiography Involves The Use Of X-Rays For The Production Of Medical Images. Medical
Procedures Such As Thermograms, Sonograms, And Magnetic Resonance Scans Use
Nonionizing Energy Forms And Consequently Do Not Produce Ionizations In Human
Tissue. They Are Regarded As Nonionizing Modalities For Imaging And Offer Excellent
Alternatives To Physicians Concerned About Radiation Exposure To Patients.
, Ref: Pp. 3-4
4. The Greek Physician Hippocrates Is Regarded As The Father Of Western Medicine. All
Of The Following Choices Represent His Medical Beliefs Except The
a. Use Of High Ethical Standards Of Conduct.
b. Important Medical Value Of Sorcery And Witchcraft.
c. Importance Of Closely Monitoring A Patient’s Condition And Recovery.
d. Value Of Diet And Exercise And Allowing Nature To Take Its Course In Recovery.
ANSWER: B
The Hippocratic Corpus Is Writings That They Emphasize Rational And Natural
Explanations For The Treatment Of Disease And Reject Sorcery And Magic. The
Hippocratic Oath Still Governs The Ethical Conduct Of Physicians Today.
Ref: P. 5
5. Throughout The History Of Medicine, Remarkable Achievements Have Been Recorded.
These Events Have Led To Our Current Understanding Of The Human Organism And
Disease. As This Research Continues, Much Of It Will Most Likely Focus On
a. Proper Sanitation And Public Health.
b. Immunology And The Development Of Vaccines.
c. Germ Theory And Infection.
d. Human Genes And Genetic Engineering.
ANSWER: D
Although The Human Genome Project Is Finished, Analyses Of The Data Will Continue
For Many Years. The Replacement Of Faulty Genes Through Gene Therapy Offers
Promises Of Cures For A Variety Of Hereditary Diseases, And Through Genetic
Engineering, Important Pharmaceuticals Continue To Be Developed. Medical Research
Will Continue To Focus On The Genetic Code In All Cells.
Ref: P. 6
6. Wilhelm C. Roentgen’s Discovery Of “The X-Ray” Is Regarded As One Of Medicine’s
Most Significant Achievements. Although His Discovery Was Accidental, His Early
Research Was So Thorough That No Significant Findings Have Been Added To His
Original Theories. This In Itself Is A True Tribute To The Brilliance Of Roentgen As A
Scientist. One Of The Most Famous Early Images He Created Was An X-Ray Image Of
His
a. Colon.
b. Laboratory Assistant’s Foot.
c. Wife’s Hand.
d. Kidneys.
ANSWER: C
November 8, 1895, Is Believed By Historians To Be The Day That Roentgen Created The
Famous Image Of The Hand Of His Wife. Through His Investigative Methods, Roentgen
Identified The Properties Of X-Rays.
Ref: P. 6
, 7. A Valuable X-Ray Procedure Used To Diagnose A Myocardial Infarction Is
a. Mammography.
b. Myelography.
c. Arthrography.
d. Coronary Arteriography.
ANSWER: D
Coronary Arteriography Is An Extremely Valuable Tool In Diagnosing Atherosclerosis,
Which Can Block The Coronary Arteries And Cause A Heart Attack (Myocardial
Infarction). By Way Of A Special Catheter With A Balloon Tip, Effective Treatment Of
Atherosclerosis Is Possible. This Treatment Of A Blocked Blood Vessel Is Termed
Angioplasty. Angioplasty Is Used To Treat Patients Without Having To Use Invasive Open-
Heart Surgery.
Ref: P. 8
8. All Of The Following Are True Of The Diagnostic Procedure Of Mammography Except
a. It Is Very Valuable For The Detection Of Early Breast Cancers.
b. The Procedures May Be Performed Using A General Radiographic Machine.
c. Radiographers Need To Be Specially Trained In Order To Perform Mammography.
d. Radiographers Must Be Certified By The Arrt To Qualify For The
Mammography Examination.
ANSWER: B
Special Breast Imaging Centers Have Been Built To Accommodate The Demand For
Mammography Procedures. Equipment And Supplies, Such As A Specially Designed X-Ray
Tube And High-Resolution Digital Imaging Detectors, Are Used To Create High-Quality
Breast Images. Mammography Cannot Be Performed Using General X-Ray Equipment.
Ref: P. 8
9. To Study The Blood Vessels Of The Brain, Kidneys, Liver, And Other Organs, Contrast
Material Is Administered Into These Vessels By Using
a. Catheters.
b. Stents.
c. Balloons.
d. None Of The Above.
ANSWER: A
Angiography Is The Term For Radiologic Examination Of The Blood Vessels After
Injection Of A Contrast Medium. Most Often, The Contrast Material Is Injected Through A
Catheter, Which Can Be Directed To A Variety Of Major Arteries Or Veins For
Visualization Of These Structures.
Ref: P. 8
10. Radiologic Science Continues To Be One Of The Most Exciting Professions In
Medicine. An Imaging Modality That Uses No Ionizing Radiation And The Energy Of
Radio Waves And Magnetic Fields Is
a. Nuclear Imaging.
b. Thermography.
c. Cvit.
